Israel all but declares war...

Post by weemadando »

BBC World correspondants are reporting that the Israeli Military has just been given orders to:

"Eliminate Hamas"

"Using any means available."

Sounds like Bush's "Roadmap" just got burnt.

Update...

Apparently anyone affiliated with Hamas is now a legitimate military target.

Well shit, how about they just nuke the entire Middle East?

If they didn't live there themselves it might be an option.

Living with Hamas is difficult but living in a radioactive dessert is much worse.

Uhh, didn't Hamas say only a few days or weeks ago that they had no intention of following the roadmap anyway? I'm not seeing why Israel should leave Hamas alone when they blatantly have no intention of leaving Israel alone.

The issue is whether or not Israel is going to differentiate between Hamas and the rest of the Palistinian population.

you know what, thery are never going to get along. the world has been desperately trying to keep a false peace for 60 years now, but guess what, it just isn't happening. Fuck..... Peres was willing to give up 90% of the West Bank, Arafat trusted Clinton, they almost had a peace treaty, but as usual "God" (allah in this case) got pissed and told somebody to kill) No, the way i see it, If the Palistinians were to lay down their arms, there would be no more conflict. If the Israeli's layed down their arms, there would be no more Israelis.

This is the same thing as the Balkans... Religious hatred will take precedent over any peace process..

I can't believe this.

IT'S A WORTHLESS PEICE OF FUCKING DESERT!!!

It's not like they're fighting over something nice like Honolulu or San Diego, they're killing each other over a boiling sand box wasteland. Do people's IQs just automatically and suddenly drop when they go to the middle east?

And the 'slow war' continues. :roll: At the risk of sounding evil, let the fuckers go at it. Then after they actualy have a war, then they can negociate a peace.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

The solution is simple. Take all the Israelis, put them on boats, send them to wherever they want to go--I'd got to Rio myself, but wherever they want is fine. Do the same with the Palestinians. Then build a 30 foot high reinforced concrete wall around the whole area, with machine gun nests manned by fundamentalist Hindus who don't like Jews or Muslims, with minefields protecting the approaches. The sea approaches will be protected by extensive naval minefields and submarine patrols. Nobody is allowed back in for the next 100 years.

Hey, "If you two can't share, I'll take it away and nobody can have it" has worked for countless sibling rivalries in the past. It certainly can't be any worse than anything else that's been tried in that shithole.

Why, the Israelites, of course. Their Holy Book, which they wrote, says so. And if you read their Holy Book, you'd know that every word of it is true, because that's what it says.
